Martin Ray
2020 Rosé
, Sonoma Coast

91 Points, James Suckling

Fresh cherry, white peach and lemon zest notes with a core of racy, vibrant acidity.  A touch of pink grapefruit and honeycomb, with a linear core throughout and creamy finish.  While always fresh and food friendly, this Rosé is also complex, intended to be enjoyed all year.  Lean and pure of fruit with brilliant high tones that highlight the expressive varietal.

Very Limited. While it lasts.

VINEYARDS

Coming from a small percentage of nearly all of our Sonoma Coast vineyards including Martin Ray Estate, Ricioli Vineyard, Dutton Ranch. Each picked at its ideal ripeness to maximize the flavors of our Pinot Noir, the subsequent Rosé also takes on the complex bouquet and palate.

VINTAGE NOTES

Shifts in temperature throughout the season resulted in shorter hangtime and lower yields, but the fruit retained bright acidity, resulting in lively wines. While quantity may be a bit lessened this vintage, the quality is excellent!
